Even without considering the ethics, I don't trust the databases.

In a very small number of QSOs in phone SS (at 1 kW, not QRP!), I got the
following questions about my exchange...

"so, you moved from Colorado"  [Yeah, six years ago...]
"was that Wisconsin?"  [No, I did Field Day there last summer...]
"was that Q?" or "what's the precendence?"  [Uh, BRAVO, not QUEBEC...]

I got these several times, and can only attribute them to their software popping
up the incorrect data from the contest database.
